Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created King Henry VIII School, Coventry, and I noticed that your username, "KHVIIIArchivist", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. noq (talk) 10:50, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Noq: "Archivist", singular, is clearly a reference to an individual. The name does not "represent the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website". Furthermore, the inclusion of "KHVIII" looks like compliance with the COI policies to which you refer. As you rightly note, "you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually" Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:22, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I also vouch for this editor who is a good faith and productive contributor to the ongoing Coventrypedia event. See also WP:BITE. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:28, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Noq: I hope that Andy Mabbett and Andrew have allayed your concerns KHVIIIArchivist (talk) 14:13, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As a historian, I respect the work of archivists in a way that most do not. But "archivist" is a role, a title; and somebody else could be the archivist next term, or next week for that matter. This is, alas, a role account, and thus not acceptable. "JasminTheKHVIIIArchivist" would be fine; but generic "KHVIIIArchivist" is not. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:45, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    - Done; the painting article is good, but would need more citations. Can you do that? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:49, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      - I don't think any more citations are available but I'll have a look. ThanksKHVIIIArchivist (talk) 16:51, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets.

While user names that are the names of organizations are not permitted, you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Foundation", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

Thank you. Orange Mike | Talk 02:46, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
